Fun in the garden

Our new project for the girls is gardening. They planted (with help from dad) tomatoes, strawberries, peppers, basil and a bunch of flowers. They have a new chore to water their garden every day. We can't wait for the first fruits!

Formal Photo Shoot

Here are a few photos from our recent photo shoot

Welcome, Emily!

Emily Yoshie Yuk Ling Kawamura
Saturday, May 12, 2012
11:25 am
6 lbs 8 oz.
21 inches long
Honolulu, Hawaii

Welcomed with love by Toby, Maile, Madison & Katelyn

We chose Emily's name because it was something we both liked. Her middle names are from her grandmothers - Toby's maternal grandmother was named Yoshie. My maternal grandmother is names Choi Yuk - my grandmother helped us create a special name (Yuk Ling) for Emily that is part of her name. We chose to honor both of our grandmothers as they were and are such a special part of our lives. Yoshie means gentle, graceful, blessing and Yuk Ling means dainty jade. 



Last photo of our family of four - this is right before we left for the hospital
